Countrywood Neighborhood Sale

Countrywood Neighborhood Sale

Every year, yard sale bargain hunters flock to Cordova, Tennessee for the annual Countrywood Neighborhood Sale sponsored by the Countrywood Neighborhood Association.

On Friday, September 22, the huge yard event will draw crowds from all over the Greater Memphis area and from neighboring states.

Last year the sale was a huge success.  More than 200 residents participated

Rain or shine, the participating vendors will sell their almost brand new or slightly used items from furniture to clothing and televisions to motorized vehicles to make a buck.  Not to mention the local economy benefited as people booked hotel rooms for a few days to stay and visit the grand city of Memphis to shop it’s local stores and dine in local restaurants.

What the Mega Millions jackpot can get you

What the Mega Millions jackpot can get you

What would you do if you won the historic Mega Millions lottery tonight? Well, we calculated a handful of things that $640 million can get you.

With those multi-millions you could buy 2,250 tons of Legos. Forget your dream project, you could build a dream house out of Legos.

iPads? You could buy more than a million iPads, not to mention that extra $10 for every gigabyte above a current $30 subscription is irrelevant to your financial eye.

In addition, you could buy every Apple product in the New York Grand Central Store at a given time. (Every square foot is estimated $4,709, the Grand Central Store is 23,000 square feet - that is a total of $108,307,000.)

For the last 35 years The Orpheum has had $650,000 worth of maintenance expenses each years, that means you could run the theater for roughly 980 years.

Olive Branch man chases down would-be car thief

A would-be car thief in Olive Branch got more than he bargained for when he attempted to steal a Cadillac from a home Tuesday afternoon.

According to police, Olive Branch resident Demario Marr was inside his home on State Line Road Tuesday when he heard a car door shut outside.

Looking out a window, Marr saw a man in the driver's seat of his father's Cadillac, which was sitting in the driveway.

"I said. 'Man, what are you doing?' He jumps out of the car and started running. I had flip-flops on so I couldn't run as fast. By the time he got to the bottom of the driveway, I caught him," Marr said.

Marr, who played football at Ole Miss, bolted out the door - wearing flip flops - and chased down the suspect.

Olive Branch police arrived at the scene a short time later and took the suspect, 18-year-old Cody Cole of Olive Branch, into custody.
